After saying this, Micaela couldn’t help blushing.
Carlos smiled at her, and the hot breath made her pull her hand away slightly, but she still seemed to put her guard up to prevent him from trying to kiss her, resting her hands on his chest to forbid him to come any closer.
Carlos found her look very pretty and said:
-A moment ago I said something even more surprising, do you want to hear it?
Micaela looked at Carlos seriously:
-Tell me.
Carlos went straight to the point and said:
-Last night, Ernesto stayed at Alba’s house.
Micaela sucked in surprise and loosened the strength of her arms. Carlos took the opportunity to pull her right into his arms and kissed her….
When the four of them sat down to dinner together, Micaela buried her face low.
Her lips were swollen, and anyone could tell what the two of them did in the studio….
-Ernesto, you should come more often,” Carlos said suddenly.
Micaela and Alba looked at him in surprise.
-Come and cook.
“This way my little one could relax a little.”
Ernesto objected:
-As president of Solnaciente and the most handsome man in Teladia, I’m going to your house to work as a cook, aren’t I ashamed?
Carlos, while giving the dishes to Micaela, asked briefly:
-Are you sure?
“If you come to cook, won’t you have more opportunities to get closer to Alba?”
Ernesto immediately changed his attitude:
-no problem! I’ll come every day.
Alba asked with a look of contempt:
-Ernesto, are you still ashamed?
-I don’t want to lose face…
Alba suddenly remembered the conversation she had with him last night and couldn’t help choking on her soup…..
When she started coughing, Ernesto became a little nervous, patting her back and handing out tissues. He unconsciously said words of concern:
-Why are you so excited? I can make all kinds of soups for you.
Micaela was a little surprised and happy for her friend, feeling more and more Ernesto’s sincerity.
-Ernesto, that’s enough!
Alba stopped coughing and looked at him with a serious face.
-After talking to you so much last night, don’t you remember?
Micaela immediately looked at them seriously and asked deliberately:
-Were you all together all night?
-Yes.
-No!
The two people facing each other spoke in unison, but the answers were completely opposite.
Alba looked at Micaela to explain:
-Don’t mind him, I stayed home last night, but he insisted on coming with me….. Anyway, it’s all a misunderstanding. The reports on the Internet are all false, they are making it up, Ernesto and I are just friends!
After saying, Alba glanced at Carlos, and saw that he was looking at her too. So once again she stressed:
-Really, everyone doesn’t get it wrong. I spoke to Ernesto last night very clearly….
Alba knew in her heart that Carlos would not care about her, but she still hoped that he would not misunderstand her relationship with Ernesto….
How Ernesto was prepared not to be accepted so easily by Alba. He recited last night that she only treated him as a friend, so he felt less uncomfortable by her words.
Carlos looked at him and said indifferently:
-Love has not yet succeeded.
Ernesto replied as he ate:
-I still have a lot of work to do.
At his conversation, Micaela stifled her laughter.
***
None of the three took what he said seriously, and Alba became annoyed:
-Micaela, it’s all your fault for being so famous, but people don’t dare to talk about your gossip, so they can only dig up some fake news from me…..
Carlos suddenly said:
-Then we have to be thankful for today’s news.
Micaela reacted with a slight smile:
-That makes sense. This way, everyone knows that your boyfriend is the famous Mr. Mancebo and no one will bother you anymore.
Ernesto raised his eyebrows in triumph. “Very good!”
Alba is speechless as she sees Ernesto’s satisfied look beside her.
The next morning, Carlos watched as Alba and Micaela left, and then the people they had arranged to follow secretly, before getting into their own car.
Diego immediately handed over some information:
-Mr. Aguayo, this is the resume that was handed to you yesterday by the personnel department.
Carlos looked at it, and on the form on the first page, Javier’s name was spelled right, along with a photo, showing a person with a smile.
And then he said:
-I have decided to appoint him general manager and triple his salary.
Diego was a little surprised:
-Don’t you want to interview him personally?
All the CEOs of the subsidiaries were personally interviewed and selected by Carlos, but this one was appointed directly.
-It is not necessary.
Diego was even more puzzled.
“Could it be that Mr. Aguayo was thanking Javier for accompanying Miss Noboa to the hospital during that car accident?”
“How strange!”
Micaela began to be incessantly busy during this period, and Alba was also quite tired.
The first of the three contracts Alba chose earlier, opening ride, had ended and she got a very impressive result. She was approached to sign several contracts, but all were turned down by Carlos.
The remaining two, one for a commercial and one for an endorsement, both required filming.
Eric was striving for perfection and had to build up stage experience for his AFIA modeling certification, so the shooting schedule was deliberately delayed and, when the two contracts were finally completed, two weeks had passed!
Eric told Micaela with great pleasure:
-Our two weeks were well spent. Look at the audience and the turnover rate, they are so incredible!
In the streets, in the heart of the city, and all the Teladia ads Micaela was showing on the screen and everyone who saw her ad couldn’t help but admire it.
Micaela and Alba were looking at the income statement of the last month that Diego had just given, counting the huge income, amazed…
